Hebrews 1:4

← Hebrews 1:3	Hebrews 1:4 (KJV)	Hebrews 1:5 →
Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;	Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.	For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
